UNITED NATIONS (AP) _ A senior U.N. environmental official says entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000.

Coastal flooding and crop failures would create an exodus of ″eco- refugees,′ ′ threatening political chaos, said Noel Brown, director of the New York office of the U.N. Environment Program, or UNEP.

He said governments have a 10-year window of opportunity to solve the greenhouse effect before it goes beyond human control.

As the warming melts polar icecaps, ocean levels will rise by up to three feet, enough to cover the Maldives and other flat island nations, Brown told The Associated Press in an interview on Wednesday.

Coastal regions will be inundated; one-sixth of Bangladesh could be flooded, displacing a fourth of its 90 million people. A fifth of Egypt’s arable land in the Nile Delta would be flooded, cutting off its food supply, according to a joint UNEP and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency study.

″Ecological refugees will become a major concern, and what’s worse is you may find that people can move to drier ground, but the soils and the natural resources may not support life. Africa doesn’t have to worry about land, but would you want to live in the Sahara?″ he said.

UNEP estimates it would cost the United States at least $100 billion to protect its east coast alone.
Shifting climate patterns would bring back 1930s Dust Bowl conditions to Canadian and U.S. wheatlands, while the Soviet Union could reap bumper crops if it adapts its agriculture in time, according to a study by UNEP and the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis.

Excess carbon dioxide is pouring into the atmosphere because of humanity’s use of fossil fuels and burning of rain forests, the study says. The atmosphere is retaining more heat than it radiates, much like a greenhouse.

The most conservative scientific estimate that the Earth’s temperature will rise 1 to 7 degrees in the next 30 years, said Brown.

The difference may seem slight, he said, but the planet is only 9 degrees warmer now than during the 8,000-year Ice Age that ended 10,000 years ago.

Brown said if the warming trend continues, ″the question is will we be able to reverse the process in time? We say that within the next 10 years, given the present loads that the atmosphere has to bear, we have an opportunity to start the stabilizing process.″

we should of left the UN years ago and formed a united anglo sphere alliance + japan

I wonder how they will explain away the USCRN which shows us cooling by 3.2 deg C over the last three years?

Miami's floods have been due to heavy rainfall and tropical storms, not sea level rise.

The areas that have been flooding the most are reclaimed swamp land and are estimated to be sinking 3mm/yr. It's known as ground subsidence.

This graph shows the "catastrophic" sea level rise. Roughly 8 inches in 140 years and that's according to tidal gauges that have extremely small coverage around the globe.

That is wrong. Flood Zone Maps - Miami-Dade County tells us that flooding is due to major rainfall and STORM SURGE. Storm surge is ocean flooding over the coastline and has been exacerbated by sea level rise.

BTW warmer droids --- where's the ACCELERATING sea level rise in that graph??

But the point about Miami NEEDING coastal flooding mitigation is that SEVEN INCHES in 100 years is not their biggest issue.. It's the SEVENTEEN FEET of sea surge that they can get during any trop storm or hurricane.. Let's put their "jeopardy" in perspective, shall we???

Lol....the warmer droids are experts at displaying fake graphs. All the time in here. Exaggerated, containing bogus axis context or lacking comparative sD's as you astutely point out.

He said "Miami's floods have been due to heavy rainfall and tropical storms, not sea level rise." I find your edit on that quote to be disappointingly disingenuous. Obviously sea level rise increases the flood risk of storm surge. It is does not increase the flood risk of rainfall.

 

[Deplorable Yankee]

Great I can tell Maimi to stop all flooding mitigation efforts.

can i ask a really stupid question :
If people actually believe Miamis flooding because of sea level rise due to mand made global warmin or whatever they renamed it this week why isn't their flooding up and down the entire coasts of north America ..south America.?...Africa ? Europe?

wouldn't it make sense to anyone else besides the religious AGW faithful ?

 

[Muhammed]

Humans are warm-blooded mammals. By definition, all warm-blooded mammals warm their environment.

Kittens, elephants, wolves and polar bears are also warm the environment.

Kinda funny how LWNJs are not protesting for the extinction of polar bears and kittens.

Leftist anti-USA scumbags....Fuck you!
